Motorcycle Specs

In new year 2013, MV Agusta (MVA) is offering the Italian sportbike in three models – the "standard" F4, the F4R and the F4RR. This is made to compete some rivals in world of European sportbike, such as BMW with the S1000RR, Aprilia with RSV4 and Ducati with 1199 Panigale. Even the top 2013 F4 model – the F4RR – now revs to 14,000 RPM, and is claimed to produce 200.8 horsepower at the crank. If this is true, this will place the F4RR in the same above 200-horsepower crowd of the BMW HP4 and the Ducati 1199 R. 

The all F4 lineup engine built in four cylinder, 4 stroke, 16 valve "D.O.H.C", radial valve. A four-cylinder advanced "short stroke" engine powers the entire F4 range. Piston diameters of 79 mm are combined with a stroke of 50.9 mm. The peak rev limit has been raised to 14,000 RPM for the F4 RR. 50 mm diameter throttle bodies are employed with a revised variable length intake tract (TSS). The gearbox as on all the MV Agusta four-cylinder engines, is a six-speed unit, with the clutch featuring a mechanical slipper device. Four engine maps are available: three default and to customizable by the pilot.

Engine Management used integrated ignition – injection system MVICS (Motor & Vehicle Integrated Control System) with eight injectors, engine control unit Eldor EM2.0, throttle body full drive by wire Mikuni, pencil-coil with ion-sensing technology, control of detonation and misfire, Torque control with four maps, Traction Control with eight levels of intervention, TSS Torque Shift System employing variable length intake runners.

For more comfortable, F4 lineup used three model of suspension. The three versions of the new model offer three distinct combinations of fork and shock while all providing the established traditional handling strengths of f4. This bike equipment includes a 50mm diameter Marzocchi fork and Sachs shock that are both fully adjustable. F4 R utilizes a race specification Öhlins, again fully adjustable. The brake system on the F4 RR is state of the art in the hypersports category. It is composed of two 320 mm diameter front discs with steel flanges. They gripped by the new Brembo Monobloc M50; an absolute reference for performance, weight and stiffness with a specifically designed and dedicated radial pump. The system is completed by a four piston rear caliper together with a 210 mm diameter disc. The F4 and F4 R replaces the monobloc found on the F4 RR with the effective race bred Brembo M4 front brake calipers and Nissin master cylinders.

The 2013 F4 lineup is packed with electronics, including a Ride-by-Wire with four maps, an eight-level traction control, anti-wheelie control, and electronic shift assist. And the F4RR gets the additional electronically controlled Ohlins Suspension, a steering damper, GP-spec titanium connection rods and Bembo Monoblock brake calipers. The only thing not available on the F4 lineup is ABS. The MVA released F4 in white or red/silver / $21,604 (€16,990), F4 R: in white or red/silver / $24,147 (€18,990) and F4 RR in pearl white/black or red/white / $30,505 (€23,990)
